Config::Model::OpenSsh - OpenSSH graphical configuration editor

This module provides a graphical configuration editor for /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config (for root) and ~/.ssh/config for non-root users.

Installation

On Debian or Ubuntu:

sudo aptitude install libconfig-model-openssh-perl

To get the GUI, you should also do:

sudo aptitude install libconfig-model-tkui-perl

You can also install these modules from CPAN:

cpanm Config::Model::OpenSsh
cpanm Config::Model::TkUI

Usage

Once this module is installed, you can launch a GUI to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config with:

$ sudo cme edit sshd

If cme fails to load your sshd_config, you can try cme with -force option.

Likewise, you can edit your ~/.ssh/config file with:

$ cme edit ssh

Or to edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config, run as root:

$ sudo cme edit ssh
